PAGE TWO Letters from the Editor's Mailbox Three Cheers for State TO THE EDITOR: Sound the alarms! Man the guns! Call the Ipolice and get a C.P.A.! Penn State co-eds are ugly! The "New Look" is here! The football players won't stand, while the students can't sing! The college is robbing us, while the boys live in shacks. Close your eyes, my sons, we're going to the dogs! Poor Dogs! I had originally intended to write only for the sole purpose to point out an error in Earl C. Supplee's reasoning that the college is making a killing to the tune of $9,900. However, I'll kick in a few other thoughts at your expense. Earl, my lad, the College isn't trying to squeeze the•blood out of your pennies. You see, the accounting system isn't set up on a day-by day basis. Instead, they estimate all the ex- penes which they expect to incur during the school year. Then they divide the total sum by the number of students living in the dorms. which, in turn, is divided by the number of payment dates. Now, Earl, don't come back sobbing forgiveness —we understand. You didn't stop to think. Forget it, pal. It's probably none of my business, but I'm curious to know just how many letters similar to Supplee's are sent to the "Editor's Mailcall." Last year the, major issue for a week or two was whether the Penn State co-eds were beautiful or not. Many hot words flew into print, but I don't think much was accomplished. This year quite a few complaints are being screamed. There is the problem of those "stupid" football players who won't stand on the opening kickoff. Maybe, it would be well if the complainer went to John Nolan and gave him the word on the matter. (Frankly, I wouldn't advise it.) There is that aw ful political "racket" which has been with us since 1855. Awful, isn't it? Those women regulations! Pathetic! Pollock 'Circle and Nittany Dorms! My diluted beer to you, laddies! That "New Look!" Stop! Stop! , Have mercy: You're breaking my beck! Since I'm only human.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA furious wrath and shine in glory on page two of the Collegian. But such luck was not mine. There aren't any stones left unturned. I have only three things to say for the College as a whole and that is "Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!" Come on, gang, let's stop our childish behavior and really appreciate our fellow-classmates and above all, our Alma Mater. Here's my raised beer mug! Consider It Remedied TO THE EDITOR: A great many of our Pitts burgh alumni were back for Homecoming Day and witnessed the Syracuse game. At our weekly luncheon on Friday, October 31, we had quite a iiscussion concerning an incident that occurred just as the game started. When a last minute change in the line-up was announced, the students put on an exhibition certainly not in keeping with Penn State traditions. We, in Pittsburgh, feel that every player on the field deserves the full support of the stu dent body at all times and therefore this letter Is written in an effort that this condition be remedie... We as individuals, and as a Penn State Alumni Club, do not return to the cam pus to be critical of the College as it is today but when we see a display like that, we feel a correction should be made. On the other hand, the student body is to be complimented for their recognition of the ability of opposing players.' A round of deserving ap plause furthers good sportsmanship with our op ponents and this is definitely one of the things Penn State strives to attain. Yours for a better Penn State. Sincerely, Jack W. Brand, President Pittsburgh Pen n State Alumni Club The Easy Way Out TO THE EDITOR: Thought I was in Grand Central Station, New York, at five o'clock, when I came out of a class the other day on the ground floor of Sparks Building. A line four persons wide was trying to get out of the only door (Carnegie Hall side), and at the same time, a line of equal size was forcing its way in from the outside. One's mind doesn't have to picture much of the commotion cause: by this daily occurrence. after one considers the width of the doors. I'm outside of Sparks now and would like to know whose set of text books, slide rule, and Geologist's hammer I acquired on the way out. I doubt if the State Fire Inspector would over look the detrimental aspects of such condition in case of fire or any other emergency (which I hope never occurs). Maybe signs such as, "Go Out Of Windows In Case Of Emergency" would alleviate the situation. Incidentally, I just found some bobby pins, a few bows, and two lipstick smears (on the back of my hand), as further evidence of the, proximity of the situation. Speaking Not So Gently TO THE EDITOR: Does Mr. Larry Gara and the Young Friends Groups of State College be lieve that the students of ROTC and the ROTC program that we have here in State College are un-Christian? Does Mr. Larry Gara and the Young Friends Group of State College believe that men like General Eisenhower and President Truman are unfit citizens and unable to take a responsible part in this democracy? (if Mr. Gara calls the country he lives in a democrocy) What is wrong with "Speak gently, but carry a big stick?" This is a real world we are living in and everyone plays for keeps. We tried your way after the first World War. Let us not make the same mistake again. Sour on Sugar Bowl TO THE EDITOR: We have been informed that a member of the track team is going to wear Penn State's colors in the Sugar Bowl. It seems to us that the Penn State boxing team was forbidden to go to the Sugar Bowl by the College "powers that-be" because the officials of the Sugar Bowl were guilty of race discrimination. The track team does have Negroes on its squad while the boxing team does not. What has caused the change of policy? Or is the boxing team being discriminated against? —George Rancher —Harris W. Shalowilz —J. F. Kloecher —James E. Richards, Jr. —Bernard Neckrich —Alvin J. Herman —Sherman D. Kaplan Edit Shorts Since opposition frequently encourages habits, customs or fads, perhaps men are unwise to fight the "New Look." Maybe they should encourage women to extend the idea to its logical, ultimate conclusion. Concealment of things feminine, seemingly the basic theme of the style trend, has been practiced to perfection for centuries—in Arabia. If Penn State coeds would catch up to their more advanced sisters, the resulting decrease in distrac tions would enable male students to devote more time to their "beloved" studies.

Johns Palestine (Continued from page one) cent the proposed partition of Palestine and that the Palestinian Jews do not fear Arabian threats of violence if the partition plan is carried out. In answering Rabbi Kahn's claims. Professir Shibli said that less than 10,000 Jews lived in Palestine from 70 B.C. to a cen tury ago. He added that three times most of the Jews left Pal estine either voluntarily or by "orce. whereas the Arabs have never left the land. In replying to Jewish claims on the basis of the Balfour Dec laration. Professor Shibli said that no nation has a right to take away a land from its rightful owners. The mathematics professor de clared that the Arab natimis would not stand by peaceably if the Partition plan is carried out. Varsity Debate Squad Meets Mt.
